Is there a fuse or anything to protect from short circuits if it gets wet?

Not positive. But, considering it's for pets and they can have "accidents", it should. Sorry I'm not much help.

It is an indoor device. I believe it is sealed from pet urines etc. They claim it is pet safe. No fuse but it only operates off 13 watts power.

You definitely do not want to get the power switch and amp wet. Any little amount of water can have an effect on your system. I wrapped my amp and switch up in plastic bag. I also put tape around the plastic bag.

Electrical problem? Or water build up? If water build up try some "RainX" (at auto partsstore)...

I imagine it depends on how much it got wet. All of the wiring is insulated pretty well. I would say as long as the AC power adapter doesn't get flooded it should be fine. Just be sure to plug it into a water tight exterior power receptacle. So long as it doesn't freeze outside u should be okay.

Wire it to a toggle switch, or put a inline fuse on it and remove the fuse when not in use

You would have to add weatherproof conduit/wire clamp connection. The hole for the wire access is on the bottom of the connection box, so it is protected by gravity. Be sure that the wire cable loops downward to avoid any water flow along the cable. This is very standard for a weather exposed electrical connection. The cover of the connection box has a gasket seal for water protection.

The dimmer switch portion does not look like it's waterproof. I think it would be a shock hazard if it got wet.

unless the outdoor outlet is cover you should run a wire from inside. Getting the plug wet while it's plugged in could short out the outlet and potentially damage the lights. Hope this was helpful!

Not that I know of. If you haven't already, you may want to check your home circuit breaker/fuse box and ground-fault circuit interrupter (if any) to see if anything has been tripped.

I would advise against it if water went over lid. I doubt if the wiring is watertight. Unit would probably have a tendency to float.

The fuse is only for protection there is another problem that cause the fuse to blown , Technician must see the unit

What you see in the picture is what you get. The wire length is about 6" from each side of the fuse holder and about a #10 wire. It does not come with a fuse. It is of good quality and water resistant, not water proof.

The electric controller plug in is not suppose to get wet (rained on). So when not in use, it is best to unplug it and bring in under shelter. The unit itself stays out.

Sound like there is a short circuit. Check your wiring, be sure none got pinch.

I would try to seal up the connections on each end with electrical tape as well as possible, but I don't think a little moisture will hurt anything.

There is a small allen-head screw on each end of the fuse that you must tighten before twisting on the plastic end caps. If you make these allen bolts tight enough they will hold. I also twisted some tape around where the power wire and the plastic end cap overlap for added water resistance and to help further secure the wire into the fuse.

I would suggest something mid range like 15 amps but definitely nothing higher than what was on the unit. The reason you blew the fuse was you put to high a load on it. By putting a higher rated fuse, your risking a fire.
